Positive Carbon

1-10

Ireland

Positive Carbon is a high-growth, venture-backed technology company on a mission to eliminate food waste in the commercial food service industry. Our AI-powered “Scrappy” sensor provides commercial kitchens with unparalleled insights, helping them cut food waste in half and significantly boost their profitability. We are scaling rapidly and need a hands-on, strategic Financial Controller to own the finance function and support our international growth.

This is a critical, hands-on role. You will be responsible for the entire finance function, moving beyond day-to-day accounting to provide strategic financial leadership. You will manage our cash flow, oversee grant claims (including Enterprise Ireland), prepare board-level reports, and ensure we have the financial systems in place to scale globally.

## Tasks

**Key Responsibilities**  

*   **Financial Reporting:** Own the month-end close process, delivering timely and accurate management accounts (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) for the CEO and board.
*   **Strategic Finance:** Manage the company’s 12-month cash flow forecast, burn rate, and financial modeling. Provide strategic insights to support fundraising and pricing decisions.
*   **Grant & R&D:** Take full ownership of managing grant claims and preparing documentation for R&D tax credit submissions.
*   **Compliance & Operations:** Manage all payroll, VAT returns, supplier payments, and customer invoicing. Ensure robust financial controls are in place.

## Requirements

*   **Qualified Accountant:** You are ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified.
*   **Startup/SaaS Experience:** You have proven experience (5+ years) in a fast-paced tech startup or SaaS company. You’re comfortable with the “roll up your sleeves” nature of a scale-up.
*   **Grant Expertise:** You have direct, hands-on experience managing grant claims and R&D tax credit processes.
*   **Hands-On:** You are happy to manage everything from strategic board packs to supplier payments.
*   **Systems Savvy:** You are an expert in Xero and Excel, and you’re skilled at building efficient financial processes.
